I'm very pleased to announce the release of a new version of GNU PSPP.
PSPP is a program for statistical analysis of sampled data. It is a
free replacement for the proprietary program SPSS.
Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/pspp/pspp-0.8.1.tar.gzftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/pspp/pspp-0.8.1.tar.gz.sig
Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:
http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html
[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:
gpg --verify pspp-0.8.1.tar.gz.sig
If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys C6648E90
and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
Autoconf 2.69
Automake 1.11.6
Gnulib v0.0-7913-g5191133
Changes from 0.8.0 to 0.8.1:
* New commands:
- VARIABLE ROLE.
* Changes to existing commands:
- CROSSTABS: The requirement that one expected count must be less than five
before Fishers Exact Test will be reported has been removed.
* PSPPIRE graphical user interface improvements:
- A new set of icons has been contributed.
- Syntax windows now parse syntax in "auto" mode, which in practice
should mean that both "batch" and "interactive" syntax now works,
instead of just "interactive" syntax.
- The variable pane of data windows now include a Role column.
* Notable bug fixes:
- System files written by IBM SPSS 21 are now read without warnings.
- System files written by "VOXCO INTERVIEWER 4.3" are now read
without warnings.
- PSPPIRE should now more gracefully handle syntax files that contain
errors.
